Personally, in Nolan we trust...That's how I feel. The man has proven himself time and time again on all his movies, so I trust his judgment.

That being said...I do worry about the amount of people in this film. Seems like every new cast member announced, is somehow a villain. While I'm sure they are only minor characters, it does bring to mind the problems that afflict many other comic book movies.

Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but considering how many high hopes there are for this film, I think it's understandable.

Looks like Batman-News got some sweet new pics of the rebuilt Wayne Manor (thank goodness!). I'll have an article up soon, but if you want to check the pics:

Man there are some great things going on with this movie now that it's heavy in production. Matt's article did some good job catching things up, but there are just so many tiny news scraps coming out it's hard to follow. If I wasn't so damn hooked, I say I was done following it. But I know I'm not strong enough for that.

All right, just got this little tidbit of info from our WB rep, regarding the release of the Dark Knight Rises trailer:

"We don’t have a confirmed plan that we are announcing. Thank you from refraining from promoting a bootleg."

So there is no confirmed date yet, despite what other sites are claiming.

Cool snippet Jordan. I still have a feeling we'll see it today. Or at least I hope so. I can't wait to watch it over and over again.

I hate that even with Comic Con going on, WB isn't giving us any Dark Knight Rises stuff. I know we just got the trailer last week, but I feel like I'm missing something. Hopefully we can see the catwoman costume before too long.

Figured I should post this here, even though it's a few weeks old, I didn't see it until recently. It's a description of the prologue footage. If true it contains a lot of heavy spoilers.

Sounds pretty awesome if it's true. Though I'm not really buying it all.

Yeah, I'm actually kind of glad that synopsis didn't turn out to be true. I really enjoyed the prologue that was shown, even though Bane's dialogue was a little hard to hear. However, we got to watch it twice and I had almost no trouble hearing him the second time. I think the first time I viewed it I was too 'in awe' that I was watching it to really understand what was happening.
